# Boot Polish (1954)

Synopsis Originally titled Ab Dilli Dur Nahin, Boot Polish was produced (but not directed) by prolific Indian filmmaker Raj Kapoor. The main adult character, played by Kapoor, is a carefree vagabond who befriends a pair of enterprising orphans (Baby Naaz and Rattan Kumar). Unwanted by society in general and by their family in particular, the kids stay alive by running a shoe-shining business. When Kapoor is arrested, the children dedicate themselves to being reunited with their boon companion. Bearing unavoidable traces of Vittorio De Sicaâs Shoeshine, Boot Polish was reasonably well-received when distributed in the U.S. âallmovie guide Cast: Kumari Naaz, Rattan Kumar, David Abraham, Chand Burke, Raj Kapoor, Prithviraj Kapoor, Bhupendra Kapoor
